Re: Sherlock Holmes canon vs fanon

The deerstalker hat: I know that it's not how he usually dresses, no confusion about that, I've heard it refuted several times.

But I've heard it refuted variably with the explanation that a) he never ever wears a deerstalker hat in any form ever, b) he only wears it in when he's in the country, and c) it only appears in the illustrations, never the text.

Which of these is it?

c), I think, but correct me if I'm mistaken. It's easily googlable, though, so I'll go and check.

Almost correct:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deerstalker#Sherlock_Holmes

It is never explicitly mentioned in the canon, but Holmes's hat is described in such a way that it is unlikely to be anything other than a deerstalker.

Likely B. Holmes was a gentleman, and gentlemen didn't dress inappropriately for the social situations they're in.* Deer-stalkers are appropriate for the country, so there'd be no reason why he'd avoid them when he was in a rural area on a case. But he wouldn't have worn them in the city or sitting around the flat.




* Not even Holmes' disguises are an exception, because they're appropriate given the fact that he's undercover and playing a role. He wouldn't go to the opera dressed like an opium addict or a bum, however.
